How to join SnowPals on Meetup.

In addition, we allocate a some funds to incentivize event organizers by covering their event drinks/eats as a thank you gift for members who steps up to host meetups.
How to get your membership comped?
If you are a friendly extrovert, consider volunteering to host a meetup; it’s a great way to meet and expand your circle of ski, boarding buddies. Help us host a meetup in your area and we will comped your membership fee. Must agree to commit to host a meetup happy hour/social event within 14 days of joining, email if interested to get the ball rolling.
Being a host is easy volunteer work; the event host is the person to greet and facilitate a fun social gathering. It’s easy, casual and it gives members an opportunity to meet and socially connect with local skiers and boarders in-person. Please be mindful of key requirements: hosts must be reliable and follow through.
Popular casual happy hour socials are pizza and beer meetup, wine tasting get together or an Apres ski happy hour meetup slope-side in Tahoe.
It’s easy to setup a meetup ..
1st, pick a date/time: best to have start time of 6:30 PM or 7 PM on weekdays since folks need to get off work and get to the event.
2nd – use https://www.yelp.com to pick a venue/find a happy hour place for the meetup.
